Tile repair at your home in Usworth
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. Whether it’s drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles, we can help, on floor and wall tiles, marble and ceramic tiles alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Usworth
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Usworth. What changes the price is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For a price in Usworth, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

FAQs for Usworth
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Usworth and the rest of Gateshead. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
How do I get a price for tile repair in Usworth?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Do you come to Usworth?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Usworth and the rest of Gateshead. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Usworth
If you manage property in Usworth, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
